my biased opinion, don't take it personally: you're all wrong.
my interpretation of the song, again, don't get mad at me, i'm just being raw, much like the song.
if anyone knows much 'bout Layne Staley(i know a little bit, he's one of my vocal idols), they know he had a long time search for his father, who he lost as a child. When Layne + dad met, Layne wound up using heroin because of his father's addiction, and a cash flow from Layne's newfound money from rock fame. Layne found out his dad was a jackass anyways.. was severly depressed about it.
Actual lyric-to-explanation:
"still you leave me rotting on the rock all alone"
His dad abondoned him as a child.
I almost cried at work listening to this shit. Reminds me directly about my life. Personal stuff, I know, but hey- it's music.
"it's my fault for knowing not what I should have known"
Layne believed it was not what fate wanted when he pushed the search for the skeleton-in-the-closet of a father he had. He believed it was a wrong decision to pursue the information found about his father's whereabouts.
Good point. It's important to remember that Layne was told that his dad was dead. That really fucked with him, especially when he later on found out that his dad was alive....
